Ulf Heinrich has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 11817692
    Abstract: An apparatus for damping vibrations in high-voltage devices has a support arrangement for the high-voltage device. The support arrangement includes support elements interconnected by connection elements. Intermediate elements, in particular coated washers, are arranged between the connection elements and the support elements and/or between different support elements. There is also described a method for damping vibrations, in which connection elements spatially fix support elements of the support arrangement of a high-voltage device in a mechanically stable manner. When mechanical vibrations occur on the high-voltage device, the connection elements dampen the mechanical vibration in a defined manner via a predetermined sliding friction with the support elements and via a spatially predetermined play in relation to the support elements.

  • Patent number: 9893506
    Abstract: A damping configuration for an oscillatably mounted, electrical energy transmission device includes a supporting frame which is connected to stationary abutments through a plurality of damping elements. A group of first and second damping elements which have damping rates dimensioned so as to differ from one another and which act in parallel, connect the supporting frame to the abutments. Favorable damping of both weaker and stronger movements, for example caused by an earthquake, is ensured due to a combination of damping elements having differently dimensioned damping rates.
